"We are very excited to open our second restaurant in Tucson,"
commented Jerry Deitchle, Chairman and CEO. "Our first Tucson
restaurant opened back in 2005 and has been well received by
consumers. Our newest Tucson restaurant achieved opening day
sales that well exceeded our expectations. To date, we have
opened six new restaurants during 2010 and currently anticipate
opening as many as four more restaurants before the end of this
year. In doing so, we would thereby achieve our stated goal to
increase our total restaurant operating weeks by approximately 13%
during 2010. Our next two restaurants are currently planned to
open in Colorado Springs, CO, and Sparks, NV, before the end of the
current fiscal third quarter."
